Hi everyone. Someone in my community is moving away after almost 20 years of living here. This woman shares some of the same friends as me. One of these friends wants to hold a "goodbye party" for this woman who is moving away. My issue is that I have had many many differences over the years with this woman who is moving. I have endured nasty insults from this woman because of these differences and she has said unkind things to others about me behind my back. I have had some good interactions with this woman, but because of her gossiping and back stabbing behavior I've never been able to trust her. The friend who wants to hold the party knows about my differences with this woman, but just doesn't get involved. My questions is, am I obligated to attend this "goodbye party" for this woman simply because she's lived near me all these years? I feel her behavior matters more and I don't think I should have to attend and say goodbye. Thank you all for any insight you can share with me.

Just say you have something else planned for that time.

Don't go. I just recently declined a social event for similar reasons. I have absolutely no qualms about spending a nice evening by myself than with people who don't value me. You don't even need to explain.
